data/_main.cfg file, intended to help with cmake builds.
* Fix bug #21723: team-specific items visible to wrong players / at wrong times
* When parsing command line args, if we fail to parse, give an error message rather
than crashing with no explanation.

start-of-scenario saves, but it seems to be a different issue.)
* Fixed the SCATTER_UNITS macro so that it may no longer attempt to place
units at the map borders.
* Fixed [filter_vision] bugs here: http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=40702
[filter_vision] was found to be inconsistent depending on whether it appears in location
or unit filter. The simplest way to fix the logic was to give an implementation matching
the original intention. Now, a [filter_vision] check succeeds, for a unit or a location,
if there is *any* side matching the side filter has vision of that location / unit, and
fails otherwise.
* Add [has_ally], [has_enemy] to work around issues reported here: http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=40702
In a side_filter, [has_ally] and [has_enemy] are corrected / simplified versions of [allied_with] / [enemy_of], this
is an extension of the bugfixes for [filter_vision].

spelled as "skip_sighed".
* Remove 'allow_new_game=no' entries from random map new game list
* Fix bug #22020: make base units with variations help entry clickable
from the 'Unit Description' menu entry or from side pane.
* Fix bug #21977: ready blocked on scenario transition, when
allow_new_game=yes
* Fix minor issue mentioned in #21800: team names not displayed properly
in debug mode.
* Fixup to bug fix 21882: fight_on_without_leader replaced with
"defeat_condition" flag of team. remove_from_carryover_on_leaders_loss
renamed to "remove_from_carryover_on_defeat". The WML developer now has
much more control: Instead of 'fight_on_without_leader'=yes/no, they have
have 'defeat_condition'=no_leader/no_units/always/never
* As part of the fixup to bug fix 21882, victory_when_enemies_defeated
was fixed up so that it will always behave properly even in corner
cases in mp. It no longer uses the "is_observer" function of team.
* Preemptively fix various problems with uncaught exceptions from the
parser (config::error), notably with editor, -p commandline option,
and mp_create_engine.
Version 1.11.14:
* Campaigns:
* Son of the Black Eye: minor balance tweaks to scenarios 7, 8 and 14
* Language and i18n:
* Updated translations: Hungarian, Slovak
* Miscellaneous and bug fixes:
* Fix bug #21967: fix crash when unit modification to traits has empty id

* Fix bug #21961, Units are not attacking if the attack was issued from
more than one hex away.
* Fix implementation bug in random number generator: rand_pool_ is now an
unsigned long rather than an unsigned int.
* Fix bug #21491: fix drag+drop for unit movements
* Fix bug #21448: make premoved units selection like in Wesnoth 1.10
* Fix bug #21372: fix unit move continuation if enemy discovered
* Micro AIs: a few more fixes of subtle or rarely occurring bugs in Hang Out
MAI and AI helper libraries
* Fix bug #22030: correct index of weapon special disable in attack GUI

a number.
Version 1.11.13:
* AI:
* Messenger Escort Micro AI: bug fix for escort units blocking messenger's
progress
* Several Micro AIs: fix a variety of rarely occurring but serious bugs, such
as invalid savegames or disabling the AI from working for the rest of the
turn or after changing the Micro AI settings.
* Bug fix for requiring unnecessary keys for removal of several Micro AIs
* Some internal reorganization of Micro AI code to facilitate customizing
them for UMC and adding functionality from other versions of Wesnoth. Some
code cleanup for consistency, readability and speed, as well as fixing of
some minor and subtle bugs.
* Campaigns:
* Eastern Invasion:
* In 'Captured', stolen gold won't be mentioned if the player had no
carryover gold.
* Son of the Black Eye: some minor changes
* S2: adjusted starting villages; scenario now ends if Kapou'e is already
on the signpost when the messenger comes back
* S3: make objectives consistent between before and after trolls appear
* S6: remove AI controller. It doesn't work with sides without a leader
* Engine
* MP server now commits controller changes to the replay rather than updating
as we go along. Among other things these means that players that join an
scenario with ai sides which has already started won't have corrupted
controller types which would prevent them from successfully saving and
reloading in the future.
We have also moved all "controller tweaks" associated to the start of MP
games to server-side rather than having a mix of client and server code.
* When players leave while they have to do an advancement choice,
the advancement isn't aborted. Instead the next player has to do the
advancement choice immediately after gaining control over that side.
* All random generation now behaves like the rng for attacks used to behave.
That means the server will generate a new seed for every user action that
used rng. Especially units traits now differ when you reload a game, this
prevents a cheat where players could see what traits would get when they
recruit units in a mp game.

performance on retina devices.
* Fixed problems with idle controller type in networked mp.

* Fixed: A bug causing text boxes to spuriously firing modification events.
* Fix bug #21758: "Ready not blocked while player pick faction."
* Fix bug #18829: "ai sides show up as "controller=network" on remote clients".
This issue is the source of some difficulties with mp campaigns which occur
when the campaign is reloaded from a non-host side, or after a player rejoins
from observer status. Hopefully, reloading campaigns is easier after this.
* Fix bug #21797: "Mandatory WML child missing" when leaving a reloaded game.
* Fix bug #21808: Cannot join a reloaded game as an observer.
* Fixed halos glitching through locations that become shrouded after the
halo is rendered for the first time.

from a networked game is now a "save and abort" option.
* New Idle controller status: Sides may now be set in an "idle" state
by the host when a player disconnects from a network game. This does
not give any player control or vision. To proceed with the game, the
host must reassign the side's controller using :control, :droid, or
:give_control as usual. (give_control existed but was not documented)
Related to this, there are new commands :controller which query the
controller status, and :idle which toggles the idle status.
* New "Blindfold Replays" option: Observers may check a box in the
lobby so that if they join a game, they will be "blindfolded" and see
only a black screen until they are given control of a side.
* Units:

theme that will be displayed in Preferences.
* [theme] name attribute is now expected to be translatable and used only

have a separate 'id' attribute.
* [endlevel] now has two optional subtags [next_scenario_settings],
[next_scenario_append], which can be used to reconfigure next scenario.
* Optimizations made to the game events engine. Slower machines may notice
an improvement during movement (when enter/exit_hex events are triggered).
The optimization is more effective when relatively few events have variables
in their names.
* Miscellaneous and bug fixes:
* Fixed: A compilation warning with DEBUG_WINDOW_LAYOUT_GRAPHS.

"type=hybrid."
* Fixed invalid file size data from the server crashing the client on the
network transfer progress dialog (bug #20893).
* Added support for specifying a feedback page URL in the .pbl file when
publishing an add-on, currently intended for associating add-ons in the
official add-ons server with topics from forums.wesnoth.org; this is
achieved by including a [feedback] block with a topic_id= key in
it.

created with previous versions may present minor color issues after this
change.
* Fixed sound sources removed while the sound effects volume is zero
(either in Preferences -> Sound or through the [volume] WML action)
persisting and escaping the sound source management code (bug #21426).

between 0 and -1.
Version 1.11.7:

the Add-ons Manager dialog used when no columns have been sorted by
the user.

individual Animal, Guardian and Recruiting MAIs are now separate AIs
that are selected with the ai_type=key

weapons and when path to next waypoint is entirely blocked
* Experimental AI:
* Added new CAs Retreat, Move to Enemy and Village Hunting
* Algorithm improvements for several CAs
* Fixed time_of_day aspect so it matches time-of-day ids, not names
(e.g. "Morning" vs "morning"), so most use cases of ToD-dependent AI
configuration work again (suspected version 1.7.4 regression).
* Move_Leader_To_Keep CA will now move all leaders back to a keep
(multiple leader support for recruitment)
* Refactored the AI-Test-Suite completely (/utils/ai_test/)

and grants feature request #18713.

attributes allow for customization of the sounds played when the unit
is healed.

Version 1.11.0:
* Add-ons client:

for the main Add-ons Manager
* The Add-ons Manager now allows filtering add-ons by installation status
(all, installed, not installed, upgradable)
* Add-ons in the Add-ons Manager are initially sorted by title instead of
the order they were originally uploaded to the server
* Add-ons with broken/unavailable dependencies are reported to the user
* The add-on dependencies prompt reports all recursively-resolved
dependencies, not just the direct dependencies
* Add-on installation, upgradability, and publish status is reported as a
footnote for every list entry, plus a field in the Description dialog
* The Add-ons Manager filter textbox is preserved during the same
connection (i.e. while installing multiple add-ons)
* Add-ons server:
* Reject add-ons with names or titles that begin with a WML text format
markup character (any of *, `, ~, {, ^, }, |, @, #, , decouples movement and sight
range.

if present.
* new action tag: [clear_menu_item] id=...

range (feature/bug #18772)

SSF instead
* Action tags [modify_side], [place_shroud] and [remove_shroud] now default
to "all sides" instead of side=1 if left empty.
* Introduce support for [filter_owner] in SLFs. For villages. Keeps
backwards compatibility for inline owner_side= at the cost of
confusing syntax (due to (possible) duplicate side information).

(viewing_side= still works, but is deprecated and
should be renamed to side=)
Semantics for empty side information changes from
"all enemy sides" to "all sides"
* [filter_vision] now works in location filters as well as unit filters,
and has an additional key (respect_fog) for locations
* Support for [effect]unit_type= and [effect]unit_gender= has been
removed, use [effect][filter]type= respectively [effect][filter]gender=
instead
* Border hexes are included when using radius= in the SLF of [remove_shroud]
and [place_shroud] (they were already included for directly matched hexes).
* Retrofitted CLEAR_FOG and UNCLEAR_FOG macros to make use of [lift_fog] and
[reset_fog]

attribute (defaults to false) specifying whether to ignore the scroll
speed setting in Preferences and instantly warp to the selected location

gamemap view scrolling (so the user cannot scroll, while WML/Lua actions
still can, i.e. for cutscenes)

of the ability/special as the first line of the description.

platforms using XDG layout (no compiled-in preferences path override,

tolist, tomap, is_unowned_village, max_possible_damage_with_retaliation
* added possibility to fallback to human player

* language and i18n:
* new translation: Latvian
* updated translations: Arabic, Catalan, Chinese (Traditional), Czech,
Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Lithuanian, Russian, Serbian,
Slovak
* languages in the language selection are now sorted on name instead of
code.

* Teams are now translated locally for all clients. (bug: #3676)
* Fix an old pathfinding bug causing an inconsistency between the path used
and the one showed to others players. It was only a visual error, but
sometimes caused to see a enemy pass through your invisible units (or in
their ZoC). Now all players see the same real path. Also valid for replay.
* When joining a game, display your assigned starting position and the new
team coloring also shows your assigned color.
* units:
* balancing changes:
* increased the ranged attack of the Bowman from 6-3 to 7-3
* decreased the melee attack of the Bowman from 6-2 to 4-2
* decreased the cost of the Bowman from 15 to 14
* increased the cold resistance of the Fencer line from 0% to 10%
* decreased the 'orcishfoot' movement cost over frozen from 3 to 2
* user interface:
* Rewrote the textbox history saving of the new widget library. This rewrite
is incompatible with the old version, but since the library is still in
development, no compatibility layer has been added.
* Added gui to choose where server binary is
* Added type-a-head search to file chooser dialog
* Add a column for traits in the recall dialog.

* Fix missing last publish/delete add-on option
* Fix few broken hyperlinks in help (and some were working in english only)
* Fix a regression about not working 'unit description' with hide_help=yes
* Python AI:
* get_variable now allows a default value to be passed to the call. If the
key is not found, the default value is returned. This is fully backward
compatible.
* set_variable exception handling has been fixed to return an exception in
the current call frame.
* Many wesnoth module functions now release the python GIL when it is both
safe to do so and the function call takes long enough where it also
makes sense. More changes coming.
* A new global boolean variable, 'restricted' is now set before the user AI
script is invoked. This variable indicates if it is running inside of
a restricted python environment or not.
* A new class of unrestricted scripts are now listed. Previously only
scripts which have #!WPY at the top are allowed. If only allow safe python
scripts is disabled, scripts which start with #!UNSAFE_WPY are also shown
to users. This allows AI authors to specifically target either a
restricted or unrestricted environment.
* New "system" class attributes are exposed in the restricted environment.
These include; '__call__', '__copy__', '__deepcopy__', '__name__',
'__repr__' and '__str__', in addition to the old __init__ method.
* ValueError can now be caught.
* Added a new AI, bruteforce_unsafe.py, which uses both function caching
(memoize pattern) and psyco to speed execution. It uses the new UNSAFE_WPY
tag and is not selectable unless "Only Run Safe Python AIs" is disabled.
This version of bruteforce runs 1x-14x FASTER than the stock python AI;
*heavily* dependent on the map and number of units involved.
* Per the python API documentation, many functions now return boolean values
rather than ints. Minor modernization effort to use new C-API macros
provided via python 2.4+. This change is fully backward compatible for
scripts which properly treat the return value as a boolean.
* Initial wail directory checkin. It's only a teaser at this point. ;)
* bruteforce_wail.py has been added - showing how easy it is to move a
well written bot from the wesnoth module to the wail module.
* WML engine:
* When examining stored units, now the attacks, max_hitpoints, max_moves,
and max_experience are the "real" values and can also be modified.
* new attribute count= for [have_unit] and [have_location] conditionals
* new mode "insert" for [set_variables]
* max_attacks in [unit] now also works for values bigger than 1
* the "zoc" key works for [unit_type] too, and for [unit] accepts other
boolean values than 1 and 0 (bug #11889).
* new effect apply_to=type to transform the unit to a different type
* remove redundant unit.value (use unit.cost instead)
* preserve unit.role in next scenario (bugs #3697, #4124, and #11329)
* fix various problems with [set_variables] (bugs #11980 and #11981)
* Add a new key "image" in [faction], used as icon in faction selection.
The old hack consisting to add the image's url in the faction's name is
still supported but doesn't have the new team coloring.
* miscellaneous and bug fixes:
* Fixed droiding not to make wesnoth think player is observer (bug: #9675)

(patch: #1076)
* Allow [unit_type] num_traits=0 to override race's num_traits.
* Small optimization of scrolling and things out of their hexes.
* Added a command-line parameters "--smallgui" to allow lower resolutions.
* Missing images are now replaced by a "men-at-work" sign (in debug-mode)

* WML engine:
* new tag [insert_tag] to place dynamic WML content
* Extended most C++ checks for boolean WML attributes to use
utils::string_bool() rather than true/false or yes/no string comparisons;
as a result, they should accept true non-zero values, "on", "yes" or "true"
strings; and "0", "off", "no" or "false" are considered false values.

* new key store_location_as= to store generated chamber item locations
* the border has been made themable
* Instead of having an empty upkeep type as the default when reading a
config file being used to normally give leaders a 0 upkeep, now leaders
(canrecruit=1) are specifically exempted from upkeep and the upkeep
type defaults to "full" when read from config files the same as for
using the recruit function. This makes documenting how upkeep works
simpler (it currently wasn't really correct) without having to make
leaders loyal. It also will work better for campaigns where the leaders
change (not that there are any now) so that the current leader is
exempted and any exleaders pay for upkeep (unless the are specically
marked as loyal).
* make random_traits default to "yes". Leaders can't get random traits
yet, because it breaks MP, but it does give campaign units traits
by default. It also allows specifying some traits and letting the
rest fill in randomly. Some traits are always forced on for units
that can get them (undead and mechanical).
* not_living tag removed from race, as this information is provided
by the undead and mechanical traits.
* the default for turn limit has changed to unlimited, if you have scenarios
which rely on the old default of 50 please add a turns parameter to it

* rewrote the config merge routine (should improve parse time slightly)
* various code cleanups
* Isle of Anduin renamed to Isle of Alduin to avoid copyright problems.
* the assertion 'str.size() <= 4' no longer happens, instead the terrain
is read as 'void' and an ingame message is shown (bug #9609)
* IMPORTANT! End-of-scenario no longer takes you immediately to the
next scenario or the lobby. Instead, you linger in browse mode --
menu commands for chat, saving games, etc. are available.
Clicking end-of-turn ends the linger and takes you out.
* fixed a bug-cheat allowing super-ranged attack in some special cases
(thanks jgp93)
* fixed incorrect displayed reachable zone when moving next to an enemy
in special ZoC cases (skirmish or lvl0)
* It seemed it's ambiguous whether the GPL license as supplied by
Wesnoth means GPL 2 or GPL 2+, since Sirp's orginal intent was
GPL 2+ the license has been changed accordingly.
(See https://mail.gna.org/public/wesnoth-dev/2007-07/msg00014.html)
* When advancing from Dark Sorcerer to Lich, you now get the undead
trait. The way this is fixed can add random traits if the new unit
type allows more traits then the unit currently has. This would
cause a problem for multiplayer, but no advancement paths currently
have this case. You do get to keep your current traits, even if you
wouldn't get them in the new unit type.
* the minimum savegame protection is ignored when either the savegame
or the current game has 'test' as version

behavior; to indicate this, such windows are translucent.
* maps smaller than the screen are now shown centered on the screen

will have no moves left (distance, village or ZoC)

* fixed blinking tooltips when clock is updated (bug #9209)
